Abstract
The purpose of this study was to illustrate high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)
findings in symptomatic adult Gaucher’s disease patients. Five adult patients with
Gaucher’s disease experienced dyspnea. These patients were first evaluated by chest
X-ray (CXR) followed by HRCT. The chest X-ray on one patient demonstrated a calcified
granuloma. Two patients had interstitial disease only seen on HRCT, and two patients
had a combination of interstitial and alveolar disease giving a mosaic pattern better
illustrated on HRCT. HRCT can be used following CXR to evaluate lung pathology in
symptomatic adult Gaucher’s disease patients.
